[Bug 38099] Re: nautilus ftp doesn't show home dir

There is the Use Case where Bob quickly wants to connect to the home directory on (for example) Bob's university's student ftp server.

The home directory can be in /home/bob or /users/stud/b/bob or anywhere.

Bob doesn't know how unix filesystems are organized.

How is he supposed to browse his files on the university's server with the "Connect to server..." -> "ftp with login" dialog?

Maybe there should be a Combobox that defaults to "home". Now there is only a text entryfield.

When I go to the server in question with konqueror it cd's to /users/stud/p/myusername. I didn't tell konqueror this path. And if that's a serverside setting, why didn't nautilus do it?
